For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with my body. In my late teens, and my early 20’s, I treated my body with such distain. I was embarrassed I had curves. I hated my “chunky” thighs and “big bottom”, always enhanced by my smaller waist. When I looked down at my […]

I am quite an open book in real life. I’ve spoken to lots of friends and women I’ve met over the years about my struggles with motherhood, but one thing I’ve not really touched on publicly until now, was my intense periods of heightened anxiety following my eldest daughter Sailor’s birth. And it’s not because […]

I get a lot of requests from charities and organisations and I try my darnedest to always help out where I can, but it’s not always possible to be everywhere and to help everyone every time. It plagues me sometimes but I’m dealing with it. Late last year my hubby and I were discussing helping […]

I can’t quite believe that this time last year I nervously launched this website. This blog. This collation of stories from my incredibly chaotic life. As it’s been one full-on year, and I think it would be remiss of me to not acknowledge it! Looking back now, I’m actually kind of proud that I forged […]

So something absolutely monumental happened this week! We got INTERNET at home! I can’t believe nearly four years of struggling with phone data, constant (patchy) calls to our service provider to try to get something hooked up, were all put to rest this week, and for that I just want to thank the brilliant team at Peak Connect. I cannot recommend this […]

I love my kids to death. Like, literally I love them more than I can explain. I could smother them with so many kisses heart explode kind of love. BUT after a huge year for this little household I also needed a holiday. A holiday with 2-year-old Scout, whom I adore, don’t get me wrong, did not sound like […]

I have been pretty busy lately with my third baby. No, I haven’t given birth again! It’s not a child as such but more of a dream or a vision that I’ve tried to create to fruition – Mummy Time TV. You may have heard me talk about it a bit lately and if you’ve […]

When I was asked to be an Ambassador for Jeans for Genes Day this year, I jumped at the chance. I’ve been an annual supporter of this wonderful cause for, um, nearly twenty years now?!

Comparison is the thief of joy! There’s no truer a sentence than that one right there. I know this. I practice loads of gratitude and always try to talk myself around and give myself a little face slap if I find myself trying to size up something someone else has that I don’t.  But, I’m human and the above […]

When I was younger I thought confidence was something you could fake. I thought that if you really just acted confident, that you were confident. You could succeed in most scenarios purely by acting. I lived out my late teens and my twenties with this kind of false bravado. Throwing myself into situations with little […]
